That depends entirely whether or not the "use.perl" script has been run, and with arg. If "use.perl port" is run, /usr/bin/perl becomes a symlink pointing to /usr/local/bin/perl. > >Alan, do you have perl5.8 installed on the box you are testing on? >Since the configure part of phoenix finds that you got a hidden dependency. Yes, I use 5.8. However, I have gotten reports that the problems with perl versioning really lie with File::Spec; that is, that it won't configure and build with File::Spec < 0.82. This is why I have added the conditional dependency on the File::Spec port at the bottom of the port Makefile. I have seen two reports of the XML Parsing Error in the chrome file, but no one who had also had a successful build was able to find a way to reproduce them. Changing Perl versions isn't that simple a job, either, as I am sure you realize. To truly do it requires close to a full ports build of whatever you have locally installed; here, I have 345 ports installed and a full build of those takes several days. Arrrgh.
